Another thing that analog sound equipment tends to have is those huge vacuum tubes.
Transistors, found in most electronic music devices, have the volume levels be linear, which is different than how ears work.
Ears sense volume differences with that logarithic (or whatever that's spelled like) curve thingy, instead of linear.
Vacuum tubes have that log curve thingy instead of linear.
So it makes sense that the volume levels of sound output that follow that log curve thingy would sound WAY more realistic since that's the way our ears work.
Yeah, if that made sense to anyone, good job.
Anyway, on the topic of YOU-KNOW-WHAT-day, it'll come when it's ready.
Records are so weird, they come in two sizes and are played at different speeds.
